Placement Assessment InformationPlacement Assessment Information

All students are required to participate in placement assessments.

Assessments are administered in the areas of reading comprehension, sentence skills, and math. Exemptions will apply for students based on SAT or ACT scores and transfer coursework. All transfer coursework must be submitted to the Louisburg College Registrar’s office no less than one business day before the test date for approval.

If a student has transfer work that was not submitted before the deadline, he/she will be administered the placement assessments. However, once official transcripts with transfer work are received by the Registrar’s office, approved transfer work supersedes the placement scores and the student may proceed to the next level of coursework. The Registrar’s Office does not accept unofficial copies or photographs of transcripts. The placement scores and records of any transfer work are compiled into an “advising folder” and the advisor who assists the new student in registration will have access to this information to help make the most appropriate schedule with the student.

Any student who needs accommodations for placement assessments must submit current documentation of the disability to the Office of Accessibility Services, Taft 107, prior to assessment. Documentation would include information from an appropriately licensed/credentialed professional, as well as the recent IEP or 504 Plan. For more information, please contact the AS Office (919) 497-3236, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected].

Students are reminded of the following policies regarding assessments: 1. All placement assessments are administered on the computer. However, pencils and paper will be provided to the students during assessment.

2. Students are NOT allowed to use a dictionary, thesaurus, hand-held calculator, cell phone, iPod, or other electronic multimedia device while taking placement assessments. Students may use a scientific calculator when provided on the computer screen during math placement assessment.

3. Scores earned on placement assessments will determine the courses (developmental or college level courses) for which students will be allowed to register.

4. There will be no re-takes of placement assessments, so take your time and do your best!

5. Prior to attending HPD, students are encouraged to review sample placement assessment questions at:

Sentence Skills: https://accuplacer.collegeboard.org/sites/default/files/next-generation-sample-questions-writing.pdf

Reading Comprehension: https://accuplacer.collegeboard.org/sites/default/files/next-generation-sample-questions-reading.pdf

Financial AidFinancial Aid

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND GENERAL INFORMATIONIf you have questions regarding Financial Aid, please contact:

Lauren PizzoDirector of Financial Aid (919) 497-3212 | [email protected]

How much does it cost to attend Louisburg College? 2020-21 charges for a residential student are $30,888 (includes tuition, fees, room, meal plan, and books). 2020-21 charges for a commuter student are $19,795 (includes tuition, fees, and books).

Can I apply for financial aid as an independent student? The federal government requires parent tax information on the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) unless students meet specific criteria that establish independent status. The most common reasons students are considered independent are:

Student has a legal guardian You are age 24 or older You are married Active Military Duty Parents are deceased Student is a veteran of the U.S. Armed Services You have children who receive more than half their support from the student during the school year

Can I be independent if my parents do not claim me on their tax return? No. Unless students meet one of the FAFSA criteria that establish an independent status, parent information must be included.

What if I have no contact with my parent?Please contact the Financial Services Office to discuss your situation.

What if my tax return will not be completed until later in the year? With a reasonable idea of income, the FAFSA may be filed using estimated income information.

What is an EFC? EFC stands for “Expected Family Contribution.” After the FAFSA is processed using the federal methodology formula, the EFC number is calculated. This is the amount a family could be expected to have available to contribute toward the student’s education.

Do I have to complete any forms to receive the financial aid I was awarded? Yes. All forms included with your financial aid award letter must be completed and returned to the Office of Financial Service Office as well as completion of required items online.

Why don’t I have a financial aid package? Have you completed the 2020-2021 FAFSA? Did you list the correct federal school code (002943) on the FAFSA? If not, return to the FAFSA and add our school code. Did you and your parents sign the FAFSA with your FSA user ID and password? The FAFSA will be rejected if signatures are not submitted.

| 16 |

Why didn’t I get a Pell Grant? Federal Pell Grants are awarded based on federal eligibility requirements and student’s FAFSA information. The EFC range for a Pell Grant is $0-$5,711. Students whose EFC is out of the Pell Grant range do not qualify.

What if I do not have enough financial aid to meet my cost of attendance? For dependent students, parent PLUS Loans are available to help with educational expenses, up to the cost of attendance. Dependent students whose parents are denied the PLUS Loan may be eligible for additional federal unsubsidized student loan funds. Parents must apply for the PLUS Loan and be denied for the student to become eligible for additional student loan funds.

Why was I selected for a process called Verification? The Department of Education requires all colleges verify data of certain financial aid applicants. Files are randomly selected by the federal processor. Louisburg College completes verification in-house. If selected, please send all documents requested in a timely manner to complete the process as quickly as possible.

What happens if I withdraw from a class or classes? Financial aid is awarded with the expectation that students will complete the semester for which aid was awarded. Students who are considering dropping classes or withdrawing from Louisburg College should contact their financial aid advisor to discuss the matter. In order to continue to receive federal funds students must be making satisfactory progress toward their degree.

All students have a Louisburg College e-mail account. This office sends most of its notifications to students by e-mail to the LC address, so it is important to check this e-mail at least once a week. Students receive notice whenever documents are needed, signatures are required, and changes are made to their awards. It is the student’s responsibility to provide changes to addresses, e-mail, and/or phone numbers.

Every year, the student must file the renewal Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Louisburg College Code: 002943.

If you are interested in outside scholarship sources, check out www.fastweb.com and cfnc.org (for NC students).

If your student receives a scholarship from an outside source, you must inform our office as soon as possible so we can update your awards. To ensure that funds are applied accurately, the scholarship check should contain the student’s full name.

In order to be eligible for the NC Need Based Scholarship, you MUST register with the Residency Determination Service (RDS). Please log in to https://ncresidency.cfnc.org/residency/#/RESlogin using your CFNC username and password. If you have forgotten your username and password, please call (844) 319-3640.

The parent, as well as the student, need a Federal Student Aid ID to sign the FAFSA and MPN (Master Promissory Note) on-line. You can visit the website at https://fsaid.ed.gov to request a FSA ID.

All students applying to work on campus with our Federal Workstudy Program are required to complete the I-9 and W-4 forms for payroll. Students must apply online for a job and interview for that position. Students are paid once a month by direct deposit into a checking or savings account.

Are you a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces? Are you the dependent of a veteran whose 100% disability is service related? Are you the dependent of a veteran whose death was service related? Are you a parent who transferred benefits to a dependent? If so, and you are interested in receiving VA Education Benefits, please contact: Lauren Pizzo at (919) 497-3212.

THE STUDENT’S RIGHT TO PRIVACY:All financial aid records and data submitted with the student’s application for financial aid are treated as confidential information and are subject to disclosure requirements under the Family Educational Right to Privacy Act (FERPA). This means that the parent must be authorized by the student to access their information. We cannot share your student’s information with anyone without such a document. Your student must submit a signed FERPA form, identifying those persons with whom we can discuss their financial aid information in detail.

| 17 |

HOW FINANCIAL AID WORKSFinancial need is determined using information you and your parents supply when you complete and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The information you provide on the FAFSA is processed using a Federal Methodology (FM) established by the United States Congress. The FM calculates your Expected Family Contribution (EFC), i.e., the amount you and your family are expected to contribute toward your education. When you complete a FAFSA, renewal FAFSA, or electronic FAFSA, the federal processor will send you an acknowledgment that your application was processed along with your EFC. The federal processor electronically transmits the analysis of the data you submitted to each college you specified on the FAFSA.

Louisburg College determines your financial need by subtracting your EFC (Expected Family Contribution) from the cost of the college.

Example: Louisburg College

Cost of Attendance $30,888- Expected Family Contribution $3,400 = Financial Need $27,488

YOUR FINANCIAL AID PACKAGEOnce we receive the results of your FAFSA, we will create your financial aid package based on your financial need. It is Louisburg’s policy to award scholarships and grants first, followed by loans for which you qualify.

Your financial aid package can be viewed on your student portal. This information will include general information about the awards, and forms and instructions required to complete the process of accepting the awards.

SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES While the process of determining financial aid eligibility is basically the same for all applicants, there is some flexibility for special circumstances. Your financial aid counselor determines whether your special circumstances merit changes in the data elements which determine your Expected Family Contribution. Additional information will be required to document your special circumstances. Situations which might merit special circumstances consideration include:

1. Reduction of income due to loss of Child Support, Alimony, and/or Social Security Benefits. 2. Loss or reduction of the household income due to death, permanent disability, and/or separation/divorce (for independent students or parents of dependent students). 3. Reduction of earned income in the current year due to loss of employment.

If you feel you have any special circumstances that might affect the amount you and your family are expected to contribute, please talk with your financial aid counselor.

| 18 |

DIRECT LOAN INFORMATIONStudents who have been awarded a Federal Direct Loan must complete a number of steps to complete the process.

Step 1 - If you wish to accept the loan(s) offered, continue to step 2. If you wish to decline any or all loans, please write ‘decline’ by the award, sign and return the award letter to the Financial Services Office.

Step 2 - Students who are borrowing for the first time must sign a Master Promissory Note (MPN). The Department of Education (the lender) has a website students may use to electronically sign MPNs (www.studentloans.gov). To sign electronically, students need their FSA user ID and password used to submit the Federal Application for Student Aid (FAFSA). The MPN remains valid for ten (10) years, as long as there has been a disbursement from the loan within 12 months from the date the note is signed.

Step 3 - Complete On-line Loan Entrance Counseling. First time student loan borrowers are required to complete loan entrance counseling. The requirement should be completed on-line, (www.studentloans.gov).

Step 4 - For Parent Borrowers: Parent borrowers seeking PLUS Loans must complete the Institutional Application Federal Direct Plus Loan. This information is submitted to the Department of Education for credit approval. Parent PLUS borrowers must also sign a Master Promissory Note. The parent must sign the MPN electronically via the MPN website at www.studentloans.gov. If a parent’s credit application is denied, the student may be considered for an additional unsubsidized direct loan up to $4000.

Quick Checklist for Direct Loan Borrowers at Louisburg College:

I M M U N I Z AT I O N S Students will need to supply documentation showing satisfactory completion of all immunizations as listed in the chart on the following page. Students are required to supply documentation to the Department of Student Life prior to the first day of classes on August 19, 2020 to prevent undue delays in their check-in process. An electronic copy or image of your immunization records should be submitted to [email protected]. Do not send paper copies, as they may become lost or misdirected. Please submit the most up-to-date copy of your immunization records, which should include a tdap booster within the last 10 years. All students are required to comply with state law regarding immunizations.

North Carolina Statute G.S. :130A-155.1 states that: “No person shall attend a college or university, whether public, private, or religious, unless a Certificate of Immunization or a record of immunization from a high school located in North Carolina indicating that the person has received immunizations required by G.S. :130A-152 is presented to the college or university. For out-of-state students, a Certificate of Immunization or a high school record indicating that the person has received immunizations is required to attend a college or university in North Carolina. The person shall present a certificate or record of immunization on or before the date the person first registers for a quarter or semester during which the student will reside on the campus or first registers for more than four traditional day credit hours to the registrar of the college or university. If a certificate or record of immunization is not in the possession of the college or university on the date of first registration, the college or university shall present a notice of deficiency to the student. The student shall have 30 calendar days from the date of the student’s first registration to obtain the required immunization. If immunization requires a series of doses and the period necessary to give the vaccine at standard intervals extends beyond the date of the first registration, the student shall be allowed to attend the college or university upon written certification by a physician that the standard series is in progress. The physician shall state the time period needed to complete the series. Upon termination of this time period, the college or university shall not permit the person to continue in attendance unless the required immunizations has been obtained.”

Your immunization records should be emailed to [email protected]. You may also ask any questions about immunizations to this same address. Please write “QUESTION” in the subject line for a prompt response.

Campus and Residence LifeCampus and Residence Life

Housing Assignments: If you plan on being a residental student, you are required to send an advanced deposit in the amount of $200 with your Decision to Enroll form. Prior to arriving at HPD, you will receive an email to your Louisburg College account where instructions for housing sign-up will be provided. If you have yet to sign up for housing, we can help you with this process at HPD. If you meet someone at HPD and wish to live together, you both will need to accept one another as roommates when you sign up for housing, if an open room is available.

Please know that while we will make every effort to honor your request, we cannot guarantee any room/roommate request. To view potential housing options, please visit www.louisburg.edu/student/residence/roomdiagrams.

Internet: All residence hall rooms are wired for high-speed internet service. Additionally, students are able to access the Louisburg College Wifi in any building (including all residence halls). If students are using an Ethernet port for internet usage, they must supply their own Ethernet cord to connect to the internet.

Laundry: For your convenience, laundry machines are provided free of cost. Washers and dryers are located in Wright, Patten, Kenan, Merritt, and Hillman Halls. It is requested that residents use the laundry facilities in their hall where available. Residents in Franklin Hall will have access to the laundry facility on the second floor of Patten. Residents in Davis Hall will have access to the laundry facility on the first floor of Wright Hall. Any problems should be reported to the Department of Student Life.

Since many students tend to do their laundry during similar time periods, it results in busy laundry rooms. Therefore, Laundry View is available for all students. Laundry View is an internet application that allows students to monitor the status of washers and dryers through a web browser. Laundry view can be accessed at: www.laundryview.com/louisburgcoll or from the colleges’s website.

We firmly believe the residence halls are more than just places to sleep. They are places to live and learn. The Housing & Residence Life staff at Louisburg College understands that you will spend almost half of your time at Louisburg in the residence halls. Therefore, we realize that this is a wonderful opportunity to enhance your college experience through programming and other unique opportunities that add to your overall College experience.

Housing & Residence Life is staffed by full-time professional staff members and student Resident Assistants (RAs). Professional staff members and RAs live in the residence halls and serve in a 24/7 on-call rotation to assist students or respond to emergencies after regular business hours. Residence Life staff also foster safe and comfortable living environments by safeguarding the policies outlined in the Student Handbook and facilitating roommate mediations when necessary. Residence Life staff help facilitate a strong residential community through regular meetings, interactive programming, and connecting students with resources. Make the best of your residential experience by stepping outside of your comfort zone, making new friends, and letting our staff be a resource to you! Housing & Residence life staff work closely with Campus Safety, who are also available to assist you or respond to emergencies on a 24-hour basis. Learn more by visiting www.louisburg.edu/student/residence.

We believe that living on campus is a vital part of the student experience at Louisburg College; therefore, we require that each student live on campus. Students residing with parents within driving distance are allowed to commute. (Off-Campus Living Requirements are listed in the Louisburg College Student Handbook) which can be found on the website at www.louisburg.edu.

Room Changes: Students are able to make room changes after the first three weeks of classes. Should a student desire to change rooms after that time, they should first contact their Resident Assistant (RA). The RA will then work with the residents of the room to mediate any potential conflicts or issues that might exist. If this process does not assist students in being able to continue to live with each other, the RA will recommend a room change and the student will then meet with a professional staff member to discuss room change options.

Dining Services Chartwells, Inc. operates the newly renovated Duke Dining Center and Perks Cafe (offering Starbucks brand coffees) at the Robbins Library. Items from Perks may be purchased a la carte. Each student receives $50 per semester in Hurricane Points to use at the Hurricane Zone and/or Perks.

All resident students are required to purchase the meal plan which includes 19 all-you-can-eat meals per week (breakfast, lunch, and dinner M-F; brunch and dinner on weekends). Commuting students may purchase meals a la carte from the Duke Dining Center. Commuters may also utilize their Hurricane card by purchasing a Commuter Meal Plan of either 40 or 80 meals in the Business Office. Commuters are awarded $50 in declining balance points each semester for use at the Duke Dining Center and Perks.

The Hurricane Zone at Duke Dining Center offers late night dining from 7:30pm-10:00pm. Students may purchase items a la carte or exchange an unused dining hall meal for an equivalent option. Each day, the Zone will offer several equivalency exchange options from which to choose. The Hurricane Zone provides quick-serve options such as pizza, chicken sandwiches, wraps, and salads.

Campus Safety:The Campus Safety department is located on the first floor of Davis Hall. Officers are on duty 24-hours a day, seven days a week. Our Campus Safety Officers are here to assist students in any way possible, most notably by helping to provide a safe living and learning environment.

A safe and secure campus is a high priority at Louisburg College. Campus awareness and cooperation, along with the guidance and support of a well-trained staff, contribute to a positive learning environment. At HPD events and new student orientation in August, students are informed of the services provided by Louisburg College Campus Safety. Students are provided with information via handouts and the Louisburg College Student Handbook.

Periodically throughout the year, Campus Safety along with the Student Life office will offer safety and crime prevention programs. These programs may cover topics such as self defense, drug and alcohol abuse, residence hall security, etc. Inherent in all of these programs is the need for students to understand their responsibility for their own security and that of others. Students are strongly encouraged to participate in these programs.

Campus Safety prepares the Campus Crime Report in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act. This report includes all crimes reported to the Campus Safety Office, as well as crimes reported to designated college officials (including but not limited to Deans, coaches, advisors, and Residence Community Coordinators) and local law enforcement agencies.

Each year students, faculty, and staff receive e-mail notification of the availability of the current report. The report can be found as part of the current Louisburg College Student Handbook on the College’s website at www.louisburg.edu. Copies of the report may also be obtained at the Campus Safety Office.

Locked your keys in your car? No worries. Campus Safety can assist you by getting you into your car.

Flat tire? No worries. Campus Safety can assist you by inflating the tire long enough for you to drive your car to a service station.

Campus Escort Service: Don’t feel safe walking alone? Campus Safety provides campus escort services throughout the entire campus.

Operation ID: Protect your property by having your property labeled.

LC Alerts: This system is designed to quickly provide important information to all members of the Louisburg College community. It utilizes both campus e-mail and personal cell phones to distribute emergency notifications in a timely manner. Community members may also opt-in to receive up-to-date school information such as news, sports, special event notices, and more.

How can I sign up for LC Alerts? Students may go to https://lcalerts.bbcportal.com/ to sign up and create their account. They will need their student ID number (last five digits) which can be found on the reverse of their ID card or on the student portal.

Health Insurance & Health Services :: Louisburg College provides a student accident insurance plan that is a supplemental plan to the student’s family health policy(ies). The cost of this insurance plan is included in the student’s fees.
